SANTA CLARA, Calif.--July 25, 2005--Intoto, a leading provider of integrated security, wireless and voice software platforms to networking equipment manufacturers, today announced its IntruPro(TM) Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) software version 3.0 was awarded NSS approved status. The "NSS Approved" award was received after stringent NSS testing criteria were met for security effectiveness, performance, stability and usability.

"'NSS Approved' is a widely recognized and highly coveted award, and is becoming a requirement for many users when short listing products for purchase," said Bob Walder, president of the NSS Group. "Not every product that goes through our rigorous testing receives the 'NSS Approved' stamp, so this is something of which Intoto should be justifiably proud."

The NSS test procedure includes a comprehensive test suite to exercise effectiveness of inline IPS devices in the most real-world environment. The test stresses on different areas of IPS system such as the detection engine, evasion, stateful operation, detection/blocking performance under load, latency, stability and reliability and management.

"NSS certification is a great achievement for our IntruPro IPS product," said Doug Makishima, vice president of marketing at Intoto. "We highly respect NSS for their extremely detailed and thorough testing process. An award from them validates our advanced intrusion detection and prevention techniques that continually provide our OEM customers with a reliable and robust IPS solution."
